I have made many rubber rifles and I want to make a semi auto or full auto one..like a gatling gun. any plans n such?

ive only made a semi auto pistol that shoot about 8 rounds in like 20 seconds. i dont really think you can do a gatling gun-like rubber band gun.

I thought about making one a while back. Basically, my design was like a gatling gun but instead of barrels I had wooden dowels with grooves filed (with a round file) into the front so the rubber bands stay in place. Nailed to the top (farthest from the axis of rotation) of each barrel closest to the breech was a wooden clothespin. I'd load each barrel by strechting a rubber band over the groove in the "barrel" and clip the other end in the clothespin. All the barrels would be attached to a rotating axel like a gatling gun. A slanted peice of wood fixed outside the barrels aligned on a slant would depress the back of each clothespin as it passed, firing each rubber band at a rate of fire solely dependant on how fast you crank the axel.

I made a very powerful rubber band gun a long, long time ago.

check out the design here : http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/crossbo ... t2172.html

it was more powerful than most pneumatic marble guns out here.( but defenitly not all!!)

I really should start building these things again!!
It was so much fun!!

Oh, I thought he meant a gun to shoot the rubberbands themselves!

There is a plastic gatling gun that holds about 60 rubber bands my son has one got it at a local carnavel.I will try and post a pic in a day or two.

if you make it will you be allowed to post it on here? maybe the bb/pettet gun section?

i built one out of k'nex a while ago, i dont have any pics sorry and i took it apart to make this pump shotgun thing. you should check instructables.com
i saw a belt fed k'nex machine gun on there a while back. im sure theres got to be something.

Wait, a gun powered by rubberbands? Why do that when you can power things with much more devastating effects in a pnumatic or combustion gun. It is a novel idea, I guess

turbohacker no...not powered by rubberbands..shoots rubber bands ..i was deeply inspired by the video posted by chaos few months back..

and besides its more fun whenyou can shoot people.

No shooting of random people... how bout friends and make a scenario??
